Letter from James Ivory, New York, New York, to Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, Delhi, India, 1973 May 15 : typescript signed.

Describing how furious he was when he arrived home to find that Sajid Khan had trashed his and Merchant's apartment, and the "terrible letter" he has written to Khan's foster mother Sunita; discussing "the princess film"; commenting on the documentary footage they already have and are planning to use for the film; telling her Merchant is in a bad mood and they have no idea how to get their money back from Lillian; lamenting that their project adapting "The Bell Jar" has turned out to be an "author-agent con game"; noting that "David Mercer has T.B. Only Corty Bryan is working out. Joe Saleh is in a dangerous mood." Adding in a handwritten postscript: I talked to Renana-- she's fine.
